Triple winner for previous stable but hard to get too excited by his efforts on the Flat/over hurdles since joining this yard; edging back down the weights but would need to see market support to consider.

Four wins over 1m4f/1m6f on good to firm ground, three of them last year; led until over 1f out when a respectable fourth of eight on his Doncaster reappearance (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and should be spot on now.

Form & Verdict
Leading stable has stuck with this lightly raced 4yo and he made a satisfactory return from a 342-day break when third of nine over 1m4f at Kempton last month; entitled to come on the outing and needs considering now stepping up in trip.

Did well for new stable in 2024, winning twice, and runner-up in valuable Southwell handicap (2m, good) on New Year's Day; reverts to hurdling after a pipe-opener on the Flat last month; probably needs to squeeze out even more improvement to land this prize.

Progressive since joining this yard and switched to hurdles, mainly under Paul O'Brien, while his sole Flat run for Harry Derham was a respectable third of 11 at Newbury (1m4f, heavy) last October; market may help on this first start since March but stable's horses don't tend to lack for fitness; should go well.

Has drawn a blank since winning his first two handicaps (2021) but nothing wrong with his in-frame efforts in competitive events at Musselburgh (12.5f) and Hamilton (1m5f) this spring; unlikely to be far away with Mark Winn taking a handy 5lb off.

Competitive in all three runs this season and he's better off at the weights with Taritino than when beaten 2.5l by that rival at Chepstow in the first of them (1m4f); then went close here over 2m before getting outpaced back at 1m4f; returning to further can help.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick inside a month when readily seeing off seven rivals over 2m here (good to firm) last July; found out off a 10lb higher mark at Nottingham the following month but it was another respectable effort; comes here on the back of a recent hurdle success but he will need a career-best to defy his current mark.

Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground.
